Written and composed by Gabriel alongside Omri Behr, ’Black Eye’ tells the reclusive story of Gabriel Guy's teen years during his time at international school in Nigeria as a complete outsider. Pretending to need no one, he would escape and drive off - secretly hoping someone would see and understand him. The song's hook, a catchy shout-along anthem, is a cry for love.

Gabriel Says: "Black eye is about a troubled time in my life, as I arrived back to my hometown after spending nearly a decade in Nigeria, surrounded by strangers. I quickly learned that similarity doesn't guarantee love, as I was bullied and picked on. Pretending I needed no one, I kept escaping on my own. But I knew I wasn't made for a solo life, I just needed to be understood."

At 22, Gabriel Guy has crafted a unique world of twisted alternative pop. He’s become renowned for using ambiguous animations in his visuals, with characters echoing the feeling of growing up in a different environment and leaning into your imagination to feel safe. The DIY style video for ‘Black Eye’ which was unveiled today, is a continuation of this childlike chaos.
